Thanks, that's encouraging to hear. There's a group of people who give me advice that make it sound like all companies care about is GPA and the likes. My response was skepticism, because there have to be people who have the experience to evaluate past that surface level.

I'll definitely be emphasizing the code I've written then, because I think that is a strong point. And to be fair to you, I think version control was probably more difficult when you were younger. Git has been a joy, especially compared to SVN, which was my first exposure to source control.



If you were being fair, you'd describe my younger self as lazy and ignorant. (My present self is slightly less ignorant -- still lazy, though.)

SVN is an adequate version control system, especially as compared to nothing. Heck, anything is better than nothing.
